Welcome to Chi Garden (蕺菜园)
Food as Medicine. Farm as Livelihood.
Chi Garden Ecological Farm & Fermentation Kitchen
Chi Garden is a small, 1.5-acre ecological urban farm located at Just Food Community Farm (2391 Pépin Court), where we have been growing since 2017. We were certified organic by Ecocert until 2024 and continue to follow the same organic standards in all of our practices.
At Chi Garden, everything begins with the soil. We care for our land through regenerative, no-till, no-weeding, nature-based farming, nurturing a healthy soil food web that supports resilient plants and nutrient-dense harvests. Healthy soil grows healthy food. And healthy food is medicine. In addition, we keep small flock of laying hens. The animal wastes is our soil fertility suplement.
We are dedicated to cultivating uncommon and rare Asian vegetables and seeds, stewarding both biodiversity and the cultural knowledge carried by these plants. One of our signature offerings – diversity salads, embodies our belief that food is medicine—a principle deeply aligned with Traditional Chinese Medicine, which understands wellness as arising from everyday nourishment and the therapeutic qualities of diverse plants and herbs.
From May to November each year, we create a vibrant, ever-changing salad mix made from around 20 vegetables, herbs, and wild edibles, thoughtfully selected from both the global East and West for flavor, nutrition, and curiosity.
We preserve much of our harvest through lacto-fermentation, extending the life and vitality of our crops. We currently offer over 20 cultured pickle products year-round.
Beginning in Spring 2026, our certified on-farm fermentation kitchen will also become a space for learning, training, and exchange—sharing fermentation skills, cultures, and practices with community members and growers.
As new immigrants, we are constantly learning and re-learning—drawing inspiration from local fellow growers, First Nations communities, East Asian traditions. We consciously work to reduce outside inputs as a way to cut our carbon footprint, both in the garden and in how we bring our food to community.
Through cultivating diversity, we envision Chi Garden as more than a farm:
a place for community conversation, cultural connection, and imagining shared futures.
